pauledell Posted December 27, 2014 Share #3 Posted December 27, 2014 Mark, Excellent composition, great use of backlighting and the near silhouette outcome. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkP Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share #4 Posted December 27, 2014 Thanks Henry and Paul. Your are right Henry in that it is much more challenging shooting into the light, but with good film/sensor and an excellent lens it is so much more rewarding when it works! I certainly had to pay much more attention to metering the scene and calculating exposure settings with no histogram to fall back on . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

erl Posted January 7, 2015 Share #6 Posted January 7, 2015 Mark, I am not a fan of 'cemetery' shots or shots of other peoples works of art, unless the shot contributes some value added conponent. Your shot does that by the beautful use of yellow glowing light on the kneeling angel's face. It adds expression that is empathetic. Your use of the Ektar 100 is to be admired s well. It is a film I distrust for contrasty subjects. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkP Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share #7 Posted January 7, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thank you Erl for your kind and supportive comment. I completely agree with your comments about the photography of other people's art. It can certainly verge on plagarism if there is no added artistic merit to the photograph. I'd started the Eternal Grief set as I find the use of these figures and some of the added details, as opposed to simple toombstones, to be fascinating. People where were so greatly missed that these statues were commissioned and erected are often now not even memories for anyone. Regarding the Ektar, I was too surprised at the extent of exposure latitude it demonstrated in this situation! There is a fair bit more detail in those shadows but I limited bringing it up to maintain the drama of the photograph. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
